Ever since Batman first appeared on the tv when we were kids we wanted to be him. Then George Clooney and that whole fake nipples thing happened and we weren't so sure anymore. Thanks to Nolan and Bale though, Batman is cool again. Interesting as that may be, putting ourselves in the suit of Bale's Batman is little ... continue reading

Their latest flask is the first in the Adventure Series which is aimed at being both essential and rugged. With more grip ... continue reading
Office warfare is serious business around these parts. If you're not paying attention and ready to retaliate, the likelihood of you ending up with rubber band welts on your face or hot coffee in your lap is pretty significant. We bought Nerf guns in an attempt to preemptively strike, but the ones that use darts don't ... continue reading
Long before we were boosting cars and buying hookers in Grand Theft Auto, and way before any Madden version made others question what game we were watching, we were busy entertaining ourselves with pixelated bad guys, baseball diamonds and space debris. We still get a sense of nostalgia with that stuff (which is why ... continue reading
You probably remember Buckyballs as the hot holiday toy for grown men this past year. They were the Tickle Me Elmo for dudes out of diapers. Now that you've spent almost a year additively playing with your collection, it's time to pick up (and probably never put down) a set of Buckycubes. The flat edges make shaping ... continue reading
You might have missed out on your shot at this year's WSOP—in fact you may be far from that level losing tons of cash, your car and perhaps your wife (tough bet to explain to her) in some underground gambling ring, but now at least you can look real good going down in flames. Obviously, Bee is the industry standard ... continue reading
It's sad that smokey old pool halls are disappearing at a rate faster than even a magic 8 ball could predict. Where former bars of bottom shelf whiskey, lurking sharks and nights of debaucherous fun used to stand now are Walmarts and Sonic drive-thrus. Even if you don't have the space for a table in your place ... continue reading
We found the board game version of Hipster Bingo a while back and it immediately transformed our road trips into hunting expeditions for ironic mustaches and black framed glasses. The only issue we had was fumbling around with the board and pieces while our buddy drove like he was late for the birth of his child. ... continue reading
Most of us probably played a version of I Spy as a kid on long family road trips. You’d score points for finding a certain state’s license plate, a police car flying by or a particular color VW Beetle which also came with the enjoyable permission of hitting your little sister. For a modern version of this car ... continue reading
Before your were mowing people down in Black Ops, debating the best character to use in GoldenEye and even before you were learning topography courtesy of Legend of Zelda guys were grabbing beers and playing arcade table games. Sure the graphics now look like something you could program on a TI graphing calculator, ... continue reading
Its a well known fact that Men like to figure things out. Home improvement projects (as long as we're not "told" to) and technical configurations are like puzzles with tangible rewards. So, obviously, we like actual puzzles too. Problem is, putting the pieces back together when it comes to cute kittens and Niagara ... continue reading
If you’ve ever played a board game against a little kid you’re aware that the rules you know are not actually the rules your miniature opponent plans on following. No, they’ve devised new rules, rules that make it fairly impossible for you to win. The Boardgame Remix Kit does the same thing minus the lack ... continue reading
Most guys enjoy playing cards. It’s why a poker set for the holidays is like giving a woman a piece of jewelry – it just seems like a safe bet. If you’re already inundated with chain store briefcase poker sets and you want something more unique for your card playing needs, check out these NYC Playing Cards ... continue reading
Gambling isn't always about the money. Most of the time it's more about being able to escape from the daily grind. You know, kick back with a cocktail or three that may or may not be served by an attractive lady who - if you played your cards right - isn't your wife. If the casino is too far out of domesticated comfort ... continue reading
As kids, the only thing that held us back when building with our Lego sets, was our vast, childish imagination . . . oh, and our complete lack of skill in building anything that resembled what we had in our heads. In fact, the only time something looked “right” was when our dads helped/took over. It’s the ... continue reading
